Introduction[edit | edit source]
Stress Management for Personal Well-being[edit | edit source]
Unprofessional Behaviour and Stress[edit | edit source]
Unprofessional behaviour in healthcare affects patient safety, by negatively influencing interprofessional communication and the clinical environment. This can lead to adverse events and errors in care. Healthcare professionals subjected to unprofessional behaviours can have increasing self-doubt and lower morale. This can all contribute to burnout. Dabekaussen et al.,[1] states: "Recognising that unprofessional behaviours may exacerbate by increasing workloads and stress, potentially leading to burnout, is needed to address the existing well-being crisis among healthcare professionals."[1]
Burnout in Healthcare Professionals[edit | edit source]
"Burnout is an exhaustion of physical, emotional and mental domains, a condition resulting from a long-term commitment to emotionally challenging related work."[2] Key factors of burnout are fatigue and exhaustion on a personal level, a work-related level or a client/patient-related level. Burnout is associated with[2]:
- higher risk for cardiovascular disease
